and yet, very few people even remember this movie today. So sad.

This is indeed a fine film with a nicely underplayed story. Far better than that over-blown smalchzy Titanic nonsense.
Photography is breathtaking in pretty much every scene, a really enjoyable film which I now own on Bluray. -

yeah, but what isn't? Titanic is awful and incredibly inaccurate. And Rose is a terrible love interest/heroine, mostly because Kate Winslet plays her but still.
I love Jesus AND Jesus-hating atheists and am 100% proud! -

I did not find Titanic romantic! Well, not at least from Kate Winlet's part (I liked her in other movies though).
Ladyhawke was pure angst from beginning up to the last minutes. I've seen it a thousand times and I still melt at the end. -

That may be. BUT, romance was never so perfectly captured on film as James Cameron was about to do, artistically. Chemistry goes back a long time. Katharine Hepburn had great chemistry with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart and especially, Spencer Tracy. There was some great, passionate exchanges between these actors. They looked good when they kissed. Meg Ryan, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock were all wonderful leading ladies with such great leading men as Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson, etc. There have been some great, passionate romances told on film.
But, no romance on film has ever caught a more perfect artistic description of the heart fluttering as that kiss scene on the bow of the Titanic. That moment is soooo hard to capture so perfectly, I think Titanic takes cake as far as the greatest romance even over Gone With The Wind and Casablanca.
